I would like to address with you the issue of cycling in Breezy Point.  In the past, residents there have been hostile to cyclists and harrassing cyclists with their private security force.  Given the devasation there due to Hurrican Sandy, they have to be getting public money - federal, state, city - to repair their community.  It seems to me that unless they are going to open their community to the public and stop harassing cyclists, they are not entitled to public money.  I have asked both the NYCC and  Transportation Alternatives to take up this cause.

I unfortunatly have missed and will miss the Fondo group ride due to schedule conflict. 

Is any member  planning to have a reconnaissance ride before actual event?

Please, let me know.

On June 2nd, I will again be participating on a 100 mile bicycle ride in Lake Tahoe, Nevada -to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

This year I am "training" with the B-STS. Thanks Dave and Victor for the rides with all the hills! I will definately be in shape for my ride!

This year I am riding to honor my cousin Gwen who lost her fight against Acute Myeloid Leukemia in 2012.  She was my inspiration for joining this fight and pushing for every mile up every hill.

Cheap ($39+), light (175G), in this case, green.  Definitively un-Brooks, but the shape looks right.  Any reason not to use these on a road bike?

It's pretty!

Can be used for any of the upcoming events:

I've been struggling over the years to come up with a good way for mounting the rear light on my road bike.  I always have a saddle bag on the bike, so a light on the seatpost isn't an option.  I don't really want to put a light on a seat stay, and I don't really want a light on my helmet.  I had a light mounted on the saddlebag, but eventually it fell off.  

I was reading a review of Cateye's new rear lights, and I noticed that there's a saddle rail mount option!  From the picture, it seemed like I could get away with using this mount and keeping my saddlebag.
